THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1936
Good morning! Are you still suf
fering from Literary Indigestion?
The Republican party can now take
time-out to write its own version of
“Gone With the Wind.”
Why not let Maine and Vermont
move to reconsider and make the
President’s re-election unanimous ?
A six-inch fall of snow blanketed
Maine and Vermont Thursday. Evi
dently trying to cover up the results
of Tuesday’s election in those States.
A1 Smith, Alf Landon and Willie
Hearst have called on the American
people to back the Democratic admin
istration. What says the News and
Courier? -***£"
There are now tVo new versions of
“As Maine goes, so goes the country.”
The 1936 models are: “As Maine goes,
so goes Vermont,” and “As Maine
goes—so what?”
To A1 Smith, John W. Davis, Bain-
bridge Colby, Alf Landon, Alice Roose
velt Longworth and other detractors
of President Roosevelt and his admin
istration: PHOOEY!
Saturday night Father Coughlin,
the political priest who so bitterly as
sailed President Roosevelt in the re
cent campaign, sang the swan song
of his National Union for Social Jus
tice and retired to the innocuous de
suetude from which he never should
have emerged. Pax vobiscum.
Safe Advice, Brother.
month; Tom carried over about half
of what he owed each month, and
increased his balance steadily until
he got so mad at me and my wife
and my 4 clerks and my delivery boy
that he quit trading at my store al
together.
Brother Davies, over in Barnwell,
in his People-Sentinel, “urges every
qualified voter—man and woman—to
go to the polls and vote for Roosevelt
and Garner."
That was safe advice to offer his
readers, and the returns of the elec
tion Tuesday indicated in no uncer
tain manner that the voters of Barn
well County took his advice, and did
just aa they have done since the days
of reconstruction—went just about
aolidly for the Democratic ticket. In
fact, the solidarity of the vote just
about convinces us that it was indeed
a good thing Brother Davies did not
advise his “subjects’’ to vote for Lan
don and Knox.—The Bamberg Herald.
While thanking Brother Hitt, of
The Bamberg Herald, for his nice
compliment, we take no credit for the
magnificent vote given President
Roosevelt by Barnwell County citizens.
In fact, we do not believe that the
newspapers “cut much figure" in the
results, inasmuch as about 80 per
cent, of the nation’s press favored the
election of Governor Landon. The
people, fortunately, were “hell-bent"
to re-elect President Roosevelt and
even the fact that the Kansan’s name
ended in “on” was of no avail in
stemming the avalanche of votes.
Truth of the matter is, we are a
little Jisapointed in Barnwell County’s
vote. The official tabulation shows
nearly 1,100 to 1, two negroes in
Barnwell having voted against the
President A And \vh|n we say
“against,” we mean just that, as we
are informed that they wanted to
vote the Tolbert taction’s ticket and,
none being available, they voted the
Hambright ticket insread. Those two
Republican votes in a county that
cast over 2,150 for a man who has
done so much for the masses .(negroes
included) are thorns in the flesh.
Our chagrin is greater than Jim Far
ley’s over the loss of Maine anld Ver- |
mont.
..Harry paid a few dollars on his
bill every now and then, mostly
then. His wife and mother-in-law
were sick nearly all of the time, and
his monthly rent fell due every week
and he had to take a lot of medicine
himself. He managed to borrow 65c
from me every Saturday night to
finish paying for a prescription at the
drug store. He still owes me $154.65,
but he’s dead and don’t know it.
Dick and his v*ife usually efime
to the store and bought what they
Wanted, -being careful as to the price
and the quality. They carried nearly
all of their purchases home with
them and I rarely ever had to send
the chores boy to their house with a
package. Dick was a funny fellow;
he hated “duns” and we never sent
him one. He always paid around the
Jirst of the month.
Tom and Mrs. Tom phoned for
their stuff, or sent word by Susie, the
4-year old daughter who was too lit
tle to tote anything home heavier than
a spool of thead. Mrs. Tom always
called for goods we didn’t carry and
we’d have to go out and buy them
for her. She sent back about one-
third of the articles she ordered; noth
ing wrong with them much—“just
ain’t what I told you to send me.”
Mrs. Harry always phoned for 5c
worth of cheese at 11:45 for lunch.
She never failed to order a bunch of
celery and a dirtie’s worth of butter
about 8 minutes -before closing time.
The first our delivery boy made every
morning was to Mrs. Harry’s house
with “something for breakfast.” She
evidently considered it a sin and a
shame to phone an order for an item
until 3 minutes before she needed it
and then she’d phone every other min
ute thereafter till she put it in the
skillet. She lived 2 miles from my
store. Harry moved to a distant state
owing me $324.66. But I hope folks
of today have more consideration for
their friends, the retail merchants,
than they had when I was trying te
believe that “the customer is always
right."
Mi-Lady's Fall Head-Gear.
The women are wearing their new
Fall hats, and, believe me, they are
a scream. There seems to be six
different and distinct styles this
season, as folldws: (the few tea-cup
styles are not included in this setup.)

fixed to the right side near the large
ear-boba that must be worn with thia
pattern, according to Paris. All the
women wearing these hats so far, ac
cording to my eyesight, are about 95
per cent bare-headed. What will they
not wear if its stylish? (Ans: Noth
ing.
1.—The pan-cake type is the most
rmpressive. This shape looks exactly
like a pan-cake with a crispy piece
of breakfast bacon lying on top of
it. Some of them appesr to have a
bite or two nibbled off the front and
back edges. Priced: Cash, $4.93. In
stallment price, $6.00, balance at $1
per month for d months.
2—The waffle design hat looks
slightly like a hat . Its trimming
consists of something that resembles
a dough-nut plastered on the flat
crown with a tooth-pick and a tail-
feather poking east and west to hold
it down. The brim and the crown are
the same height. This hat looks bet
ter if hung upright on the back of
the head. Down payment, $7.98, bal
ance on easy terms. Cash price $6.49.

Years and years ago, I ran a re
tail grocery store for 6 months in the
year and that same retail grocery
store ran me for the other 6 months
in the year. The life of a retailer who
extends credit to everybody who says
they will pay him “next week” is
indeed a bed of thorns.
3. —The saucer model is the same
size as a saucer, but it is worn up
side down. It fits the head exactly
like a postage stamp fits an orange.
The trimming is unique and appears
to be a cross betwixt a butterfly and
a doodle hole which is attached im^
mediately above the left ear. I*
seems that this pattern has a few
nitches chipped off as if the man had
been drinking coffee out of it and bit
it occasionally. Priced, cash—$8.79.
no terms.
4. —The dish-rag ensemble is the
most stunning. It is made by mash
ing a dirty dish-rag straight down to
the thickness of a custard plate; all
of the frazzled edges are left or.
This is the largest hat of The season
and is intended for women of 50 who
claim that they are under 35. It
comes only in brown, and sells for
around $15.57, Cash. (I know.)
A Week-End Pleusure Trip.
...Nothing would do the wife a few
days ago but that we go and spend the
week-end with her Uncle Bert. I
ain’t much for spending nights away
from home in anything except hotels,
and even then—I want everything 100
per cent; meaning a bath-room, soft
bed, 2 pillows, and an inch carpet on
the floor. On account of the Civil
War, which Uncle Bert was in, he
never got along very well, hence these
fine appointments were minus in his
home.
We arrived at our rendezous—
(meaning his 1-story 3-room, bunga
low type cottage) about dusk. After
toting our bags in the sitting-room,
known as the “company room,” I
went with Uncle Bert to slop the
shoat, milk the yearling, shut up the
chicken house which contained 2 roos
ters and 3 old hens, fed the mule, and
fetched in 2 pails of water.
both quilts were securely wrapped a-
round Uncle Bert. He had both pil
lows stuffed under his wooly head.
His toe-nails clawed me unmercifully.
He out-snored a hippopotamus. He
pushed me out of the bed 13 times.
He slept neater the middle than on
his own side. He grunted and groan
ed and growled. 1 thought (and hop
ed) he was dying once or twice. Final
ly day break came. I saw the morn
ing dawn and the sun rise for the
Ant time in 21 years. If I hated a
man unto death, the awful lest punish
ment I could mete out to him would
be to make him sleep with my wife's
Uncle Bert 2 nights per month for a
year.
5—Type hat number 5 is exactly
like one-half of the pan-cake and one-
half of the waffle model, cut in two
and stitched together. Its trimming
is 2 beads on one side and 1 bead on
the other side, with a canary wing-
feather stuck on top of it.
My customers consisted of Dick,
Tom and Harry. Dick paid op every.
6—This hat is worn by rich folks
only. It looks like a coffee cake that
had been sat upon. Its gaudy trim-
minig ia a black bow of ribbon about
the size of a dirt-dauber’s wings af
Bed time finally came. I had al
ready discovered that they had only
2 beds; one of their grandsons was
“staying” there; that’s all, just stay
ing; he hadn’t hit a lick’s work since
1920 when he lost his old horse by
death and his small farm by automo
bile and mortgage. That meant more
to me than an absentee might think.
I knew I’d haVfe to sleep with Uncle
Bert. OUCH!

Along about 8:30, Uncle Bert and
Aunt Minervy said—“It’s about time
to retire and go to bed.” We went.
Uncle Bert is lank and boney. His
whiskers were long and wiry. He pull
ed off his shoes and hat and coat and
britches, and crawled in the “bar”
side while I took the “gee” side of
the old feather bed.
No man ever spent such a night
as I spent. Uncle Bert turned over
at the rate of 15 times per minute,
and at every turn, his whiskers swept
into my eyes, mouth and face. His
elbows poked into my spare-ribs like
unto post-hoje diggers. His knees
squeaked and bumped me “a la billy
goat” style. He munched something
betwixt his teeth ever and anon, and
the smell of tobacco juice was abroad
in the room.
It waa chilly about 1 a. m., but
